You are quite sure based on what evidence? Or are you just having a feeling? He is the head librarian for the Royal Society. Keith probably WRITES the wikipedia pages for this stuff...... Come on man.
Keith being excited about grasses, and Brady's less than enthusiastic reaction, is every exchange where I try to tell someone about something I find interesting.
I really like what you are doing. The people you are mentioning in all the episodes have had a great influence on the good life we are living now. I am glad to see history is saved in secure hands of Keith and others and that you Brady make it visible.

Keith's enthusiasm for botanical illustrations of grasses tipped the scales, and inspired me to pick up a 2nd Edition of "Hortus Graminus Woburnensis", by George Sinclair FLS FHS, published in 1825. Illustrations of the grasses and their seeds "are by Mr. Louis Parez and are drawn on stone." The volume was on sale at a local antique shop, and I took the plunge. I'd be more apt to go for an early monograph on orchids or birds, but here's to the grasses!
Scientific illustrators are still widely employed for the purpose of creating scientific drawings for publication. Photographs are rarely capable of conveying information in as clear and unambiguous a fashion as that which can be accomplished by a skilled scientific illustrator. It is an art form, to be sure, but it is also a highly specialized skill, and it thankfully remains invaluable as ever, in myriad medical and biological disciplines alike.
Indeed. Just look through a popular science magazine or website and look over all the pictures of stellar objects particularly that read "An artist's interpretation".
There's a TH-cam channel called Animalogic. The host is a science illustrator; each episode has her speed draw of the subject animal in the background, and she has her own site. Her name's Danielle Dufault.
I find the small minutia and the banality of scientific groundwork often much more interesting than the big earth shaking discoveries. And grass is very important in the ecosystem indeed!
Keith, you once again display your good taste and sophistication. I enjoy good botanical illustrations too, especially of grasses. I think that you possibly should have given Brady a light slap on the back of the head for turning the pages so quickly, it is a bad habit that he would benefit by being cured of.
Just posted about this! thank science for modern calculators, without them my math and physics exams would be an absolute mess.. well more than I already make them
Wouldn't it be interesting if the archives and the reading rooms had public webcams? Then we could snoop and maybe catch Brady or some of the other youtubers who frequent The Royal Society in the act of filming from time to time.
I am curious, how much of an effort (if any besides this) has been made to digitize the archive? It would be a tedious process, but allowing the people of the world to look through all of this would be pretty cool, and you could have a system where people can make connections (subject to approval) between different things, such as links between pictures in this scrapbook and other places they may show up, or connections of any nature. People could write transcripts to improve searchability, and readability in some cases. People could even provide annotations. I think it would be pretty cool.
Right, having looked into this myself, they seem to have created digital representations of six items, and created a searchable version of the card catalog, and little official besides that (that is publicly visible anyway). Can anyone else find anything?
+Objectivity why do you always take your gloves off prior to handling the manuscripts? aren't the gloves used to protect the documents? not being rude just curious
I think so too. At first, I tried Paleo-Hebrew, since the alphabets are practically identical, but it made no sense. That's probably because I was trying to read from right to left. Reading from left to right, the positioning of the period-like dots makes more sense, and the syllable endings look more like Greek, which I unfortunately don't know. I think the writers 4:41 mirrored the yodh (iota) relative to the canonical orientation, and the shin is on its way to turning into sigma. He (epsilon) and waw (digamma/upsilon) and either pe (pi) or resh (rho) might also be flipped or rotated, and some letters might be simplified, rounded or squared off; I'm not sure about them. However, beth (beta), lamedh (lambda), mem (mu), nun (nu), and ayin (omicron) are very recognizable.
I would buy any audiobook narrated by Keith Moore. I just love his calm soothing voice! On top of that he's very eloquent.
That sounds a bit dubious.
Keith deserves a twinkling in his eye. he's a wonderful human encyclopedia
You are quite sure based on what evidence? Or are you just having a feeling? He is the head librarian for the Royal Society. Keith probably WRITES the wikipedia pages for this stuff...... Come on man.
This book doesnt even have a wikipedia article.
If he would check Wikipedia he would be blabbing all wrong info sir....
Who on earth trusts Wikipedia lol
Wikipedia is reliable to an extent. You have to check where the information is sourced from.
The dynamic duo enthrall us yet again with their masterfull use of whit and metaphor.
These flower and grass drawings were amazing! Reminded me of still life painting!
Keith being excited about grasses, and Brady's less than enthusiastic reaction, is every exchange where I try to tell someone about something I find interesting.
Looking at/listening to Keith never fails to make me happy.

Drawings of grass and flowers are much more interesting than fish, Brady... Slow down a little!
+
Seconded!
+ 1
that is what Brady's partner said...
1000 likes. 0 dislikes. This is why I love this channel and its subscribers!
I just noticed that too. That's really a quite unusual sight to see.
Brady appears a philistine when confronted with the exquisite grass and flower illustrations!
We need a spin-off channel where Keith talks about grass and common flowers.
Yes!
The flower and grass drawings are so beautiful.
i can't believe more people don't watch this channel. Every video is amazingly fascinating

Those botanical drawings are exquisite. And Kieth's right, that primrose is fantastic.

Cheers to that!
Keith should do audio books or something where i can hear his voice talk about a subject for hours....
what stunning illustrations! I love these videos
It's been said before and I'll say it again... Keith shoud narrate audiobooks he has a great way with words
I agree with Keith, those drawings are beautiful. I love botanical prints, such skill and detail.
more people need to watch this show
Agreed! Remember to tell all of your friends about us :)
I actually like drawing grass and trees, do scientists still employ illustrators?
I guess I should try asking local science organisations then, thanks!
Scientific illustrators are still widely employed for the purpose of creating scientific drawings for publication.

Maybe take a look at SciencePhotoLibrary. They take submissions
There's a TH-cam channel called Animalogic. The host is a science illustrator; each episode has her speed draw of the subject animal in the background, and she has her own site. Her name's Danielle Dufault.
Not just any wall, a tremendous wall! It's the best wall there is!
Of course we'd be happy to join :)

Make a plant drawing special Brady! Those are beautiful!

I think that you possibly should have given Brady a light slap on the back of the head for turning the pages so quickly, it is a bad habit that he would benefit by being cured of.
You and Keith ever enjoy some grass together? Please lie in your response so we don't get you in trouble.
Brady STOP! It's a trap. This mastermind is trying to trick you. You do have to respond though because it's the top comment; that's internet law.
I'm sure the dynamic duo partake of a spliff on occasion.
Excellent episode, watched it twice in fact.
How does this channel not have 148 million subscribers???
I freaking love this channel.
Hmmmm, this flower book is a bit fishy.
HA! Made me chuckle
djguydan me too
Great video can't wait for part 2!
1:17 The multiplication on the bottom right corner is incorrect: it should be 37851079608!
Kudos! Well spotted!
wtf
Just posted about this! thank science for modern calculators, without them my math and physics exams would be an absolute mess.. well more than I already make them
I love this channel.
"It's not just any wall, it's a fantastic wall"
Very interesting, especially the fabulous drawings of plants. The writing at 4:40 seems like ancient Hebrew to me.
Tom Scott made a great video about the Avebury Stones. Might be worth a link in the description / suggested.
Longer videos would be a joy.

Hey Brady, that's a nice Omega moonwatch you have there :-)
david lagergren it's his speed master that he doesn't shut up about on HI
4:01 The camera seemed so surprised by the image!
Pretty sure the writing at 4:39 is from the Etruscan civilization!
Brady I think your hair is trying to escape.
MS 131, also know as double grass fishburger

That's "Doctor Fish" to you, Sir!
+Objectivity why do you always take your gloves off prior to handling the manuscripts? aren't the gloves used to protect the documents? not being rude just curious
Are they not scanning all these documents and put them online for all to see?
i take it brady doesn't like flowers or grass hahaha
those are really pretty drawings of grass
Those "runes" look very much like Phoenician. Not a 100% sure, but almost definitely some Semitic script.
I think so too. At first, I tried Paleo-Hebrew, since the alphabets are practically identical, but it made no sense. That's probably because I was trying to read from right to left. Reading from left to right, the positioning of the period-like dots makes more sense, and the syllable endings look more like Greek, which I unfortunately don't know.
I think the writers 4:41 mirrored the yodh (iota) relative to the canonical orientation, and the shin is on its way to turning into sigma. He (epsilon) and waw (digamma/upsilon) and either pe (pi) or resh (rho) might also be flipped or rotated, and some letters might be simplified, rounded or squared off; I'm not sure about them. However, beth (beta), lamedh (lambda), mem (mu), nun (nu), and ayin (omicron) are very recognizable.
John Wiedenhoeft My first thought too! Not runes. Paleo-Hebrew or Phoenician.
What is your best guess at a translation?
for someone as posh as you Brady, i thought you would enjoy the flowers
And a third one please, and fourth.
Does Keith ever read the comments here?
2:39 do I only see that?
Those quick calculations are absolutely RIDDLED with errors
- Citizen of the World
More archeological references please!
'Watch this space!'
Keith Moore please do an audio book, any will do!!!!!
I like fit brady :D
They could totally sell prints of a big number of these works as paintings or something...
Cliffhanger....nooooo!
i guess grass is pretty cool.. sure keith
✨✨✨✨
✨ *131* ✨
✨✨ ✨✨
someone made a mistake on the second multiplication problem. it should be 37 851 079 608. they forgot to carry the 10 from 6+4
Keith is the only one deserving his name in the description. Yet, his name isn't there.
Did you get a hair cut Brady? Following the shaving down the sides trend, I see.
I miss your old hair, Brady. :)
Could you please start making your videos in 4K? It would be much easier to read the texts and stuff.
Jake get your eyes tested
So... Keth is kind of Anti-CGPGrey
more grass please!
Those multiplications at the beginning, some of them are actually wrong... OPS
Loosing weight is real trendy these days, isn't it?
Seems like there's a lot of overexposure going on In the video.
